The Alberta government keeps vaguely pointing to "European" health care to try to support their claim that a two-tier system will fix things. But Europe isn't a panacea & their privatization hasn't come without problems. Enough cherry-picking! Get the facts from @onthealthcoalition.bsky.social

Did Alberta Premier Danielle Smith hand out a government contract worth hundreds of thousands of dollars – one that deals with the referendum – to her recent political staff? Yes. Today, I’m teaming up with my friends at @nationalobserver.com to tell you all about @rorywh.bsky.social's huge story:

If anyone ever wants to argue that local history and historians are not important, then this should put that to rest. But for Catherine Corless and her labour none of these would have been searched for.

As Canada's premiers meet for the Council of the Federation in Charlottetown today, Friends of Medicare is joining health coalitions from across the country in calling for an end to the spread of U.S. style, two-tier health care. Read our joint statement: www.friendsofmedicare.org/health_coali...
